Eternity is a cute rom-com with a great cast, but it could've used more exploration of its afterlife.

Hulu's Whitney Wolfe biopic never tries to break free from the predictable confines of the genre.

Guillermo del Toro's passion project is beautifully crafted, but can be quite exhausting to get through.

Hamnet captures the beautiful aching that makes up life in all its forms, and it makes for one of the most profound and staggering works you’ll see this year.

Etzler carefully walks the line, taking a dark subject and ratcheting up both the tension and the humor until the two are inextricably linked, making for an entertaining and unpredictably exciting debut.

For a story that should be brimming with intrigue, danger, and the horrors of inventing your own reality, The Wizard of the Kremlin is instead a bloated, tiring recitation of facts that doesn't know how to elevate its dark subject matter.

Three films in, Johnson continues to surprise and amaze with his ability to craft a masterful tale, one that hits everything we love about this series, while still finding new angles to approach in this world.

With a career-best Tatum at the center and an ensemble that fills in every corner with warmth and wit, Roofman is one of this year's most pleasant surprises.

As a platform for Sweeney to show her broad talents as an actress, Christy is undoubtedly successful, as she finds the heart and sadness within Christy Martin. But Michôd's film doesn't make that life story quite as riveting as it should be, which is what Martin deserves.

A tremendous work from Jafar Panahi that might go down as his masterpiece.

Linklater reminds us that he's still able to make two people simply sitting around and talking fascinating. After all these years, the pair of Hawke and Linklater remains a winning combination.

The Smashing Machine boasts strong performance, but the film hits fairly generic story beats.

What Last Rites gets most correct is its family dynamics, hearkening back to the first film's initial moments and providing a strong thread throughout the series. Farmiga, Wilson, and new and returning characters all pull this off brilliantly.

Strassner and Larsen are an absolute delight to watch, and this is the kind of movie that indie cinema is all about.

The Long Walk exceeds even optimistic expectations to easily become one of the best Stephen King adaptations.

Caught Stealing, on the surface, doesn’t look like what we expect from an Aronofsky film, and yet, once you dive deeper, it seems like the most obvious version of a dramedy crime-thriller that the director could make. The film isn’t afraid to get its hands dirty and go to some truly dark places, yet it always manages to come back to a place where this story becomes entertaining again.

It’s a totally pointless pursuit that has no interest in interrogating why A Serbian Film came into existence, only how. An 80-minute behind-the-scenes promotional featurette for a film that, even after an entire documentary devoted to defending its existence, still feels completely meaningless.

As it stands, The Roses has its charms, but it could’ve used a few more thorns.

The Thursday Murder Club is a delightfully charming movie that hits all the highs of the cozy murder mystery genre without any of the negatives.

Trust does a great job of showing what Turner is capable of. The problem is everything around her. Pardon the pun, but it takes an interesting premise and doesn't trust itself to craft a compelling story with interesting characters around it.

Relay is a tense, edge-of-your-seat ride that reminds you that they do still make them like they used to, it’s just, unfortunately, not nearly as common anymore.

Ne Zha II is a bold, action-packed, interesting celebration of Chinese legend, wrapped around the story of a growing boy who wants to determine his future. The new English dub translates these characters well to the screen, and its visuals are beautiful companions to the large-scale story.

Madelyn Cline and KJ Apa engage in a summer romance that neither makes your swoon nor sob.

The fifth installment of a beloved modern horror franchise proves that it's losing steam.

Americana is an interesting modern take on the Western, with a standout performance by Halsey.

It's a relentless ghost train of a movie that blinds you with its color, deafens you with its chaos, and pushes you to hysterics with its overabundance of silly, splatter-filled action.

If you're a moviegoer who desires smart, original horror, skip Witchboard. You're better off just watching Sinners or Weapons again.

It is just as chaotic, caught between peril and hope, as our reality. The ugliness and the potential of humanity are rarely this captivating.
